The Free Land of Borkey Kurg is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Council of Borkurgian Progress with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.602 billion Borkurgians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borkey Kurg. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Borkurgian economy, worth 490 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 136,183 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, government expenses are beyond compare, no one is worried about government policies any more, and disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borkey Kurg's national animal is the Albatros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Borkey Kurg is ranked 282,679^th in the world and 6,012^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
